Proclaiming Truth

He who sees the truth, let him proclaim it,
without asking who is for it or who is against it.
- Henry George

Stand upright, speak thy thoughts,
declare the truth thou hast, that all may share;
Be bold, proclaim it everywhere:
They only live who dare.
- Voltaire

To be outspoken is easy when you do not wait to speak the complete truth.
- Rabindranath Tagore

The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others
and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us,
and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak,
the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls.
- Elizabeth Cady Stanton

The truth is always something that is told,
not something that is known.
If there were no speaking or writing,
there would be no truth about anything.
There would only be what is.
- Susan Sontag
